Reflection
Today, seven people presented their music video presentations on a selected music video of their choice. They then had to use their knowledge of camera techniques, editing techniques and the use of colour and lighting to create a music video.
Ryan Chang: As Good as I Once Was by Toby Keith
* Extensive description of the music video.
* Mistake with camera movement name.
* More effort talking about narrative instead of film concepts.
Alastair Hirsch: This Too Shall Pass by OK Go (Rube Goldberg Machine)
* Describes making of the video.
* Good description of camera shots and colour/lighting use.
Brandon Tang: This Too Shall Pass by OK Go (Alternate Video - Marching Band)
* Good analyzation of artist style.
* Good description of camera shots used.
Bradley Justice: Thriller by Michael Jackson
* Good analyzation of colours, lighting and camera techniques.
* Good tying back of film techniques to message and emotional aspects of video.
* Good description of older video techniques (No special effects)
Aaron Zweig: Collide by Howie Day
* Good description of colours/lighting and emotional response.
* Good analyzation of editing and effects of this.
Emily Sun: I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles
* Good explanation of types of music video.
* Good analyzation of thematic significance of camera techniques.
Dylan Smith: Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson
* Good analysis of shot types, especially the non-traditional "dutch angle".
* Very thorough analyzation of shot distances and effectiveness of these.
* Explanation of generic terms could be more succinct and better related to the music video itself.
* Colours/costumes well analyzed and related to themes.
Evaluation
I took down some notes and basic information for each presentation today, but I found that quite a few people neglected to talk at depth about film concepts, and instead talked more about the song or other non-film related subjects.
For my presentation, I will try to focus a great deal on film techniques instead of talking about other aspects of the video.
